Connect to your own voice of wisdom.
Awaken to the forces of nature.
We no longer have a choice, we must listen... deeply.
The world is in crisis, the earth and all her inhabitants need us now.
How can we best serve our family, our community, the earth and ourselves when we’re disconnected, exhausted and caught up in the distractions of modern life? ....we can't.
Without strong roots, we cannot bloom.
Deepen Our Roots
Drawing upon the wisdom of Plant Spirit Medicine, priestess skills from western mysticism, and shamanistic teachings from Toltec Wisdom, you are invited to cultivate personal power through these timeless spiritual techniques to strengthen trust in your intuition, increase your physical energy, reduce daily draining patterns and habits, clear your mind, and deepen your relationship with source energy.
*Plant Journeys are used with common medicinal herbs that are safe and accessible; we will not be working with psychoactive plants. Those who practice sobriety are welcome here.
Do you feel anxious and uncertain about the future, wondering where your life is headed? Do you feel burdened by your past and the voice of your inner critic? This apprenticeship is about quieting your inner chaos and cultivating your inner seer to connect deeply with your voice of inner wisdom. Our voice of inner wisdom is directly connected to the earth's intelligence. Our work is to slow down, and listen to the earth. She has important messages for us.
Each class we will engage with a new Plant Teacher, and let the spirit of the Plant be our guide. Plants are a portal, they connect us with the divine cosmic intelligence and the sacred order of All Things. Through this connection, we receive powerful wisdom and can hear the needs of our own soul's calling, and also that of the planets. The voice of our inner wisdom is how nature speaks to us, and also through us.
This Apprenticeship offers skills and resources to cultivate a relationship with your inner mystic, guided by Plant Spirit Medicine. This apprenticeship will allow you to develop a strong, practical and spiritual toolkit that is required to move through these changing times. We are collectively going through death and rebirth cycle.
This work is in service to humanity and this apprenticeship is in service to the times.
We Rise
As we build skills, and hone the tools we already have, we come home to our deep Self. In turn, we are rewarded with a life of resilience, vitality and fulfillment. This work is ultimately to support each of us to wake up and feel alive so we can be a better ancestor, and in turn serve our communities, and humanity, while being led by the Earth's Wisdom.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY
Grounded in foundational wisdom, Seraphina is a pillar for all called to this work. Whether it be an intimate ritual or a large community gathering, her authentic presence holds space for that which needs to be healed, rebirthed and spoken in these crucial times. She has a gift of bringing out the potential in her students. I am in awe at the growth I have witnessed in myself from her teachings in both Magic and Herbalism over the past three years. My life perspective has shifted from seeing myself as a passive recipient to old stories and a broken system that fails us, to a knowing creatrix remembering she walks the path of truth-seeking; here to shift things up by creating new programs and inspiring others to find their inner magic. Seraphina is an amazing gift to all who are blessed enough to find her.

ABOUT SERAPHINA
At the age of 14, Seraphina began learning alchemical practices from shamanic practitioners she met through fated circumstances. From the age of 16 until age 18 she apprenticed with a medical intuitive, then embarked on the priestess path in 1998 into which she was initiated in 2016. Like many cast onto the path of healing and spiritual training, it was pain and suffering that led her into the forest to seek answers to life’s big questions. First, it was an injury that left her bed-ridden with debilitating pain as a teenager, and just a few years later, the intractable disease then sudden tragic death of her beloved father which set her on a spiritual quest all before 21 years old. She spent ten years in a Toltec apprenticeship, which radically shifted her perceptional world and help shape her world-view as one deeply connected to the earth. She has taught thousands of students and has held countless circles, classes, rituals and ceremonies for groups as large as 300. With a practice spanning two decades, she is now a sought-after international teacher and speaker. Her greatest teachers, as always, are the students and patients with whom she is grateful to work with. She is continually in awe of the strength of the human spirit. Regarded as a 'teachers teacher' her unique blend of gifts straddle the vast worlds of plant medicine, homeopathy, and ritual and ceremonial magic. She is known for her heart-centered, generous teaching style that speaks to multiple ways of learning.
